They were entertain...Man,that&#39;s a great story! <br />They were entertainers and played the ridiculous to the hilt! <br />I was just on you tube and there was The Crusher coming into the ring,on a match he wasn&#39;t supposed to play.And he was wearing a bad powder blue &quot;new suit&quot;,dark sunglasses and was all dressed up,for who knows! <br />Then some other wrestlers came out and ripped up his suit,and beat the crap out of him,all fake of course! <br />He ended up with a ripped up suit half falling off of him,and one of the sunglasses lenses were gone,and then he did the &quot;interview&quot; (you know with Gene Okerland or whatever)looking all screwed up. I found that to be like the ultimately the funniest things I ever saw,it&#39;s still on you tube right now. <br />Just do a you tube search,and watch it while you can. It&#39;s priceless. <br />The Crusher played that &quot;Milwaukee&#39;s Favorite Son&quot; thing for his whole life.He wasn&#39;t an idiot,even though he played that to the hilt! <br />It&#39;s very punk rock!stephanie rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16631592094371954260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411717812611558811.post-53682748311265033842010-04-23T13:52:01.363-07:002010-04-23T13:52:01.363-07:00I lived in Minneapolis from 64-65 my sophomore and...I lived in Minneapolis from 64-65 my sophomore and junior years of high school. I remember the Crusher and Dick the Bruiser (his cousin?) very vividly. Vern Gagne had a big show on TV every week Of course Vern was always a &quot;good&quot; guy and Crusher and Bruiser were sometimes &quot;good&quot; but mostly &quot;bad&quot;. Crusher was probably the most entertaining wrestler of that period. &quot;Locker room&quot; interviews with him were hilarious. The song you posted went pretty high in the charts right about this time.<br /><br />My junior year came along and I got a part time job at a health club in downtown Mpls. It wasn&#39;t like the posh clubs of today, Lots of weights and dumbbells, benches, racks etc, not much else except a sauna and dressing room. One night while manning the front desk, in walked the Crusher, Bruiser, Bobo Brazil and another wrestler who I realized later was John &quot;Golden Greek&quot; Tolas. They didn&#39;t work out, retiring immediately to the sauna with their cigars and cases of beer they had brought along. After a while I went to check on them and ended up being entertained by the many stories they told me while smoking and drinking. They even gave me a beer to drink!<br /><br />I shall always remember that night. They took the time to do what they do best, which was entertain. Even if their audience was just one high school kid.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
